Marvel to re-launch 22 new books.

Thanks to latest issue of Entertainment Weekly and Newsarama, we have our first confirmation of what appears to be a Marvel relaunch including a bunch of new books under what is being called Marvel NOW!

Beginning October, Marvel will launch a new series every week through February 2013. We can expect to see new titles, costumes, and new numbers on these series. To be sure though, this isn’t a universe overhaul, just a relaunch of multiple major characters and series.

The list of confirmed titles so far includes Avengers, to be written by Jonathan Hickman with over 18 new team members, X-Men, written by Brian Michael Bendis which will focus on the original five X-Men time traveling to present day, and The Uncanny Avengers, whose roster will include Cap, Wolverine, Thor, Rogue, Havok, and others.
